“Charlayda is an amazing care taker she really shows love for Buster and always keeps me updated with photos and videos. I love that Buster has a place to stay with other dogs to get that play time. Great location definitely looking forward to future stays if Charlayda is up for it. Also very appreciative she made herself available during Spring Break! I definitely recommend her.”

“Marilyn and her family really loved on my boys & they had a great time! Their pup is also so nice and such a lover boy. The boys were well taken care of, came back home happy and relaxed whereas sometimes when I’ve gotten them from boarding, they’ve been stressed or sad. I can tell they had a good time!”


“Wendy and her family are the best. Roy's becoming a regular with Wendy! Wendy truly cares for animals under her care and it shows. Communication and pictures daily! I would give her 6 stars if possible!”

“My pups haven’t stayed with anyone, they made it so easy and stress free. We had continuous communication with photos throughout the day. The drop off and pick up was so easy. I have already booked another stay with them.”

“Cynthia was the best pet sitter I’ve ever had - she treated my sweet girl as her own! I have a very skiddish and shy dog who grew to fully trust Cynthia in a very short amount of time which doesn’t happen often. I’m so happy to have found her and will definitely be using her for all of my future travels! Thank you again Cynthia!!”
“Shannon was great! Great communication and tons of pictures. She is very friendly and attentive my dog had a great time I can definitely tell she took excellent care of my dog and will def book in future.”


“Tannia and Chris were spectacular with Shiraz! She acclimated in no time, they showered her with affection while also respected her space as she grew used to them. She was at home and jumping up to sit on their laps in no time. Tannia kept me up to date all the time, sent me pictures and video and was available to chat or talk whenever I reached out. I felt like we left our pup with friends who loved and cared for her the way we would have. Their dog Domi is a sweetheart too. I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever I need to board Shiraz overnight!”

“Patti was wonderful with our 2 dogs! Her communication with us during our trip was so appreciated. She sent daily updates, photos and videos, which went a long way to ensure us that our pets were cared for with as much attention to detail as we would give ourselves. This made our trip so much more enjoyable and stress-free. I would most definitely recommend her for pet boarding. She’s absolutely wonderful!”

“Rachel took such great care of my hyperactive 1 year old rescue mutt. Rachel was extremely accomodating and flexible with my pick up time. My dog was so happy in her home and came home worn out from all the playing with her 2 sweet pups! I highly recommend her if you want a loving pet sitter that treats your dog like her own.”

“Kaitland did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog, Prim. She gave her a variety of daily meds and Prim came home happy and calm. Great experience!”

“Yekaterina was wonderful with Kiko! She was attentive, kind, and kept me updated with photos, videos and messages throughout. Kiko looked relaxed and happy when I returned — a clear sign she was well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!”

“I usually go with a pet boarding facility but wanted to try something different. Meaghan was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. She welcomed my 2 frenchies with open arms no hesitation. She made me feel more comfortable with her than taking them to a pet paradise.”

“Katya did a great job taking care of Reggie when I went out of town! Communication was excellent and she provided periodic updates and photos showing how much fun he was having! It’s so nice to be able to leave my boy with someone knowing he is so well taken care of!”

“Nestor has the best time when he stays with Patrick, Emma and Adam. We love receiving the photos and messages while we are away. I never worry about him when he’s there, it’s a beautiful relief that I can enjoy my time away knowing Nestor is getting lots of cuddles and playtime.”

“Kaitlyn and Andrew are the best! They sent regular updates and pictures of our Lucy. As much as we miss her when we’re away we at least didn’t have to worry about her at all. We could tell that she was well loved and made herself right at home 😊”

“Highly recommend Marlena! She was great about making my BIG babies feel comfortable (my female has really bad separation anxiety & immediately connected with Marlena!) She was great about sending updates and very communicative, it was so nice to leave my pups (without worry) for a weekend out of town! We will definitely be booking with Marlena & Phil again! Thanks so much for loving my babies & making them feel safe.”


“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”


“This is the second time my dogs have stayed at Randy and Mimi's and I'm sure they will stay there again in the future. I love to see all the frequent photos and videos, and they reassure me that my dogs are happy and comfortable. I would reccomend this sitter to anyone looking for someone to care for their pups!”

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.
University Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Charlayda is so sweet and kind to my pup and I. She was flexible although my plans were all over the place which I appreciated so much. She sent lots of photos and I can tell really gave my pup all the loves he deserves. Thank you so much and will be booking again!

Our family had to take an unexpected trip and Ms. Feyi O. was available and willing to help. She sent pictures and gave a detailed summary of how our puppy was doing. She has a very nice space specifically for our puppy. Without hesitation she offered to cater to our precious puppy’s needs. Definitely booking again and I know that our baby will be taken care of without any worries.

Rachelle is awesome. She sent us pictures and my dogs looked comfortable staying with her. When we picked them up, they both looked happy and looked familiar with Rachelle so I think they were comfortable staying with her and liked her. They didn't forget letting Rachelle know they appreciated her by going back to her and let her pet them one more time before we left.
